Inside a large, well lit open room was a series of neatly arranged tables adorned with iPads. Beside each device was a sealed sample of marijuana. You click on the iPad for a breakdown of your favourite ‘Mob Boss’ or ‘Girl guide cookie’. THC levels are listed along with the price and the expected effect on your body should you consume or smoke it.

I actually wasn’t allowed inside Euflora.

A security guard asked for ID at the entrance and balked at my Alberta drivers licence. He said by law they could only accept a Canadian passport if I wanted to look around.

I thought of mentioning that Tommy Chong grew up in Calgary, but it was getting late. And my passport was hidden away in my hotel room.
